Ah sick, well done mate! What was the magic ingredient for your personal statement then?


To be honest I took a risk which clearly paid off by including various extra-curricular activities that I have undertaken in the past two years. (E.g. Piano grade 7, u18 national front crawl champions runner up, gold duke of Edinburgh)
I knew I would differentiate myself from the competition by doing this, and it has worked out for me!
Hope your personal statement is great too! :smile:

The same as it would be with FM. They're honestly not that fussed about it like other unis.

They don't really need to care about your PS since they can access how much you care about the subject at interview.

Can't believe you just said that; his UMS scores are well, well above average. If he can demonstrate his passion for the subject in the interview he has every chance of getting a place.

They're great grades. People get into Cambridge with much lower than that. You're on for 560 ucas points which is above average

Do UCAS points really matter?
